vote-selling which most definitely still occurs through their steem-engine token instead of genuine curation

So much makes sense to me now 🤔 I've seen ceratain accounts constantly getting a specific whale upvote almost instantly as soon as they post anything, almost as if it was on autovote and the content in my opinion doesn’t deserve it...and it happens constantly for that user on every post! I went and checked their wallets for evidence of vote buying...Nada! Steem-engine might be the explanation 🤔

There’s always a downside to everything that was made to improve the platform. The downvote war in the end comes down to ego. It doesn’t matter if the downvotes were given keeping disagreement of reward in mind, it hits their ego and they retaliate. Nothing much you could have done here.
